Eco-Apple

Eco-Apples are not the same as organic, but many of the methods used by Lyman Orchards are the same as those of organic growers. We use a combination of old farming methods and leading-edge technologies to grow fruit in ways that preserve the ecology of our orchard, focusing upon the use of natural methods and minimal spray.

Lyman Orchards uses an advanced Integrated Pest Management (IPM) protocol, favoring naturally occurring controls to produce fruit of exceptional flavor and quality. We work closely with the non-profit organization Red Tomato, and the IPM Institute of North America for an annual review of our policies and implementation.

Tips for Storing and Handling Apples

Apples stay crisp and fresh for weeks if kept cold and moist. For best results, store them in a vegetable crisper or plastic bag in your refrigerator. Kept at room temperature, apples ripen 10 times faster than when kept in cold storage. Before storing, remove any apples that are bruised and use them immediately. Do not store apples near strong odors, as the odors may affect the taste of the apples. To avoid bruising, handle your apples very carefully...as if they were eggs!
